But, I can assure you that reading something the second time round can help you see things so much differently than just a few days ago maybe, because today you might read to understand. When life-threatening situations suddenly appear, we feel as if we have lost our space to think or, even move. It cripples us or so it feels, because trials only get us down when we allow it to. The contents of this book has guidelines that will help you see your worth and will cause good results to manifest in your lifes journey. Be inspired to shine with radiance that will draw people, so that you can sow good things into their lives, because when you are upright with others it can only go well with your soul.

Not long after Lincoln's assassination, the debate began: Was Lincoln a committed Christian or a confirmed skeptic? Scholar Philip Ostergard provides the answer with a thorough study of the president's references to God, the Bible, and Christian principles in his letters and speeches. The Inspired Wisdom of Abraham Lincoln illustrates the depth of Lincoln's knowledge of Scripture; the Bible's influence on his character; and the development of his faith, particularly as he wrestled with the issue of slavery and led the nation through the tumultuous years of the Civil War. Readers will find this a fascinating and inspiring handbook of answers to the questions about one of our greatest presidents.

On behalf of their enemies, Seppen, a dogged investigator working for the nation's intelligence agency, is assembling a crew of bounty hunters to track them down.

The Qur’an makes extensive use of older religious material, stories, and traditions that predate the origins of Islam, and there has long been a fierce debate about how this material found its way into the Qur’an. This unique book argues that this debate has largely been characterized by a failure to fully appreciate the Qur’an as a predominately oral product. Using innovative computerized linguistic analysis, this study demonstrates that the Qur’an displays many of the signs of oral composition that have been found in other traditional literature. When one then combines these computerized results with other clues to the Qur’an’s origins (such as the demonstrably oral culture that both predated and preceded the Qur’an, as well as the “folk memory” in the Islamic tradition that Muhammad was an oral performer) these multiple lines of evidence converge and point to the conclusion that large portions of the Qur’an need to be understood as being constructed live, in oral performance. Combining historical, linguistic, and statistical analysis, much of it made possible for the first time due to new computerized tools developed specifically for this book, Bannister argues that the implications of orality have long been overlooked in studies of the Qur’an. By relocating the Islamic scripture firmly back into an oral context, one gains both a fresh appreciation of the Qur’an on its own terms, as well as a fresh understanding of how Muhammad used early religious traditions, retelling old tales afresh for a new audience.

Have you ever wondered what life would be like if…? So starts a journey for the dreamers, those of us who want to know if this is all there is, or whether we can fulfill that need buried deep within us and make our dreams come true. For the Dreamers explores how some of us ended up here, with our dreams unanswered and our souls crying for something more. It dares us to put aside our fears and probe the deepest part of our being to discover the truth within. Can we move beyond the conditioning that keeps us stuck? Is there a way to respond differently to the messages we receive from the outside world? Maybe our dreams have suffocated within the walls of our limitations. Maybe they haven’t had a chance to breathe for many years. But they’re not dead yet. If we’re willing, we can revive those dreams and fill our lives with new passion and purpose. So if you’ve ever wondered, now is your time to dare.
